Evaluating Payment Data

Use

You can evaluate incoming payments, outgoing payments, and balances in the information system by choosing Financials ® Payments.

The system evaluates the plan, actual, and commitment values only in the line item reports, by day. The payment line items are recorded in the COFP file and the totals files superior to it (RPSCO, BPJA, BPPE).

Note

Cleared invoices are first shown under the "Invoices" heading. They do not appear in the payments column until you have run the program for taking over payment transfers.

Prerequisites

Project Cash Management must be activated.

Payment plan data from the invoicing plan in the network is not recorded unless you first run the asynchronous network costing. You do this in the network itself, independently of Cost Accounting.

For the line-item evaluation, you must first have assigned commercial transaction FIPA to a number range in the Implementation Guide.

For more information, see the Implementation Guide for Project System under Payments ® Planned Payments ® Automatic Plan Payment Calculation ® Set Up Number Range for Daily Payment Planning.

Note

You cannot evaluate payment plan data in reporting unless you assign financial transaction FIPA to a number range in customizing.

Features

The system evaluates the payment plan data by period and date. Evaluation of plan, actual, and commitment values which is precise to the day is only possible in line item reports. You can access line item reports either directly from the report selection or using the interface from the overview report.

You can evaluate payment plan data by period and day. The standard project information system contains the following reports:

Overview report

These provide an overview of all expenditures and revenues in a project, differentiated by the various business transactions, such as planned down payments or payment obligations from purchase orders. You can evaluate the payment data by period in these reports. To evaluate the data by date, you can branch from here to the line item reports, and from there to the document display.

The overview reports are Report Painter reports; you can use them as templates for creating your own reports.

Line Item Reports

This report displays the project line items for planned and actual payments, providing an evaluation which is correct by date. The line items correspond to the document lines created when postings were made in the project.

You can jump from the line item reports directly to the original documents and accounting documents. To do this, choose Environment ® Original document or Accounting document.
